Where Vergo fits with TASS
Vergo integrates with TASS and posts coded card spend into it; for TASS, the live integration covers expense management. It works with any card from any bank — connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change. Employees send receipts by text or from their phone, and Vergo chases missing receipts itself instead of waiting for a report. Vergo proposes the coding by inference from your own accounting structure and history — no rule library to build, no keyword lists to maintain, and new vendors are coded on first sight. The proposal covers the GL account segments and GST tax code, and every coding shows why it was chosen, so a reviewer confirms in seconds instead of re-coding by hand. Approval workflows are optional and fit how you already control spend: route by GL account or by amount — or skip approval flows entirely and let policy flags catch only what breaks a rule.
